0:00
Maybe this was just me, but I had a
0:02
realization not so long ago, and after
0:04
having it, it lived rent-free in my
0:06
head. Sasuke's eyes never turned into
0:10
the renegon. Now, you may be looking at
0:12
your screen funny, but hear me out.
0:14
Sasuke Uchiah's eyes were going blind
0:16
from Mongeko Sharinggon use, so he
0:19
decided to attain the eternal
0:21
sharing instead. And when he attained
0:24
the EMS, he had to replace his own eyes
0:27
with transplants, specifically from
0:29
Itachi. So from that point on, after
0:32
Sasuke retreated from the bridge in the
0:34
land of iron, his eyes were no longer
0:36
his. They were Itachi's, which means
0:39
that during the fourth Shinobi World
0:41
War, the eye that became a renegon was
0:44
actually the eye from Itachi. What I do
0:47
kind of find funny though is that when
0:50
Itachi was reanimated and cast Izzanami
0:53
on Kabato, the eye he used was his left
0:55
eye, the same eye Sasuke would turn into
0:58
a renegon. So, there's probably a lot of
1:01
significance to this, which I could and
1:03
probably will give its own video to. But
1:05
for now, I'd like to finish explaining
1:07
how this idea correlates to the whatif
1:10
at hand. What if Itachi possessed the
1:13
renegon? Welcome to the Amagi. Only 25%

1:22
And with that out of the way, let's get
1:24
into the video. It's said that those who
1:26
are born with the renegon either become
1:28
a god of creation or a god of
1:31
destruction. Through the past to the
1:33
present, there have only been two sets
1:36
of renegon to awaken since the
1:38
introduction of chakra upon this earth.
1:40
And those who awakened the eye, Haguro
1:43
Otsuki and Moa Uchiah, both stood on
1:46
opposite sides of the spectrum.
1:48
Hagurromo used his powers to give the
1:50
people chakra and to seow trust and
1:53
kindness among the people to give them a
1:55
chance to connect, even if that
1:57
connection would later turn into a
1:58
weapon. Moa, on the other hand,
2:00
possessed the renegon as well, but was
2:03
scarred by war and its consumption of
2:05
life. From it, he became a contradictory
2:08
man who loved the thrill of battle, but
2:10
hated the cost it imposed upon his
2:13
friends. And so, upon gaining the
2:15
renegon, he made the fateful decision to
2:17
try and change the world for what he
2:19
felt to be the better, even if that
2:21
meant tearing down and destroying the
2:23
current system and killing innocents
2:25
just to attain this poisonous dream.
2:28
Then, after his death, his eyes passed
2:31
to Nagato, who believed that he was the
2:33
one who awakened them. And despite
2:35
having not truly awakened them himself,
2:38
he was still counted as third among the
2:40
sages. Through this power, he too was
2:43
presented with the option to become a
2:45
god of destruction or a god of creation.
2:48
He had initially chosen to become a god
2:50
of creation. But the cruel machinations
2:52
of fate and of one who secretly
2:55
manipulated world events from the
2:56
shadows, that opportunity was taken from
2:59
him when his faith in humanity was
3:01
killed. And so another god of
3:03
destruction was born under the moniker
3:06
pain. But the world continues to change.
3:09
Lives continued to be born into this
3:11
world and die out of it. And so within
3:14
the little village of Konoha, a tiny
3:16
blessing was brought into it. A blessing
3:19
that held such great promise. Nobody
3:21
knew how and nobody knew exactly why,
3:24
but a baby was born to the Uchiah. And
3:26
when it took its first breaths, when it
3:29
first opened its eyes and looked out to
3:30
the world for the first time, these eyes
3:33
bore the shape of rings of lavender
3:35
color, rippling the pupil out. From
3:38
pupil arose an iris of purple. And as
3:41
that iris ended, what seemed like a new
3:43
iris began over and over again until it
3:46
went out of sight and covered the whole
3:48
surface of the orb. A pair of these eyes
3:50
the baby had. And when the parents saw
3:53
it, Fugaku Uchiah and his wife Makoto,
3:56
they were confused, worried. That was
3:58
until the elders of their group
4:00
deliberated and confirmed through
4:02
ancient scrolls and secret knowledge
4:04
that these eyes were the eyes of the
4:06
sage of six paths, the renegon. Fugaku
4:10
was amazed. And as he stood there before
4:12
the stone tablet that they kept hidden
4:14
within the Naka River shrine, his
4:16
Mongeko Sharinggon scanned over its
4:18
contents, reading out how the renegon
4:20
awakened in the sage and gave him the
4:22
power to break the endless cycles of
4:24
this world and that whoever possessed
4:27
these eyes could cast upon the moon the
4:29
infinite Sukiyomi, the technique that
4:31
would save the Uchiah clan. Itachi was a
4:34
special child, very special. And because
4:37
of this, Fugaku and Makoto treated him
4:39
different compared to their other child
4:41
who soon would come into the world,
4:43
Sasuke. Sasuke was born without the
4:45
renegon, and his eyes at their start
4:47
displayed no visible dojutsu. Such a
4:50
thing was common among the Uchiah.
4:52
Rarely did one possess Sharinggon at
4:54
birth. They had to be awakened. They had
4:57
to be earned. But simply due to being
4:59
born into the same household as Itachi,
5:01
a renegon bearer, he was already
5:04
destined to play second fiddle to his
5:05
elder brother. He didn't know it yet,
5:08
but he would. It was a late night and
5:10
the skies were clear. It was a warmer
5:12
than average fall night that still felt
5:15
like summer. Due to this, Itachi
5:17
couldn't help but enjoy the warm air
5:19
outside. Bringing his little brother out
5:21
into the open to feel the warmth and to
5:23
get out of the stuffy house that was
5:24
growing a bit too warm for their liking.
5:27
It was beautiful. The stars were out.
5:29
The moon was shining bright. Both Fugaku
5:32
and Makoto were off doing some late
5:34
night work. They had put Sasuke down to
5:36
sleep for the night before leaving. But
5:38
while they were gone, the little baby
5:40
awakened, crying. Itachi was up studying
5:42
for the academy. He had only just
5:44
joined, but his skill was incredible. He
5:47
seemingly had command over every nature
5:49
transformation as though it were
5:51
nothing, including yin and yang release.
5:53
He was incredibly skilled and on top of
5:56
that he was craving for knowledge.
5:58
Learning not only what the book said but
6:00
training to put it to practical use. It
6:02
was due to this night owl syndrome that
6:04
Itachi heard Sasuke crying and went to
6:06
him bringing him outside where he was
6:09
now. The baby had calmed down and was
6:11
now seemingly going back to sleep.
6:13
Itachi got up and was preparing to
6:15
reenter the house when he felt a shiver
6:17
down his spine. Suddenly, the air felt
6:19
charged with electricity with pure fear.
6:22
Looking back, he wondered what it was.
6:24
It was then that he saw a pair of oddly
6:26
shaped buildings that hadn't been there
6:28
before. No, they moved. They twitched.
6:31
What Itachi realized was that he wasn't
6:33
looking at buildings, but instead at a
6:36
set of very large ears. This would
6:38
become apparent when the creature's back
6:41
arched, its snout rising to the clouds,
6:44
all just to let off a massive roar that
6:46
shook the building. It would have broken
6:48
the windows, too, if they had been in
6:50
any way closer. The baby in his arms
6:52
began to squirm and cry again. Itachi
6:55
just stood there looking on at the beast
6:57
as it began to move. How long did he
6:59
watch it for, trying to process what was
7:02
happening? It wasn't much longer after
7:03
that a girl came running to their
7:05
doorstep. "Itachi," she called out.
7:07
Looking down at her, he noticed it was
7:09
Eizamei, one of his friends from school.
7:11
"What's going on?" he asked. "The
7:12
Ninetales got out. We got to get to the
7:14
shelter immediately," she said. Itachi
7:17
nodded. "I got to get my shoes," he
7:18
said. Izumi entered the house with him.
7:20
Itachi gently laid the baby down on his
7:22
bed as he pulled his shoes out from
7:24
under the frame and slid them on.
7:26
Grabbing Sasuke again, the two of them
7:27
began to make their way to the shelter.
7:29
"What's happening?" It said. "Where's
7:31
mom and dad at?" iz looked back at the
7:33
beast. "I don't know. I was told the
7:35
Uchiah weren't allowed to face the
7:37
beast." "Why?" It asked. Eizimi shook
7:40
her head. "I'm not sure. I have no clue
7:42
how they're going to stop the beast
7:44
without our help," she said. Itachi
7:46
stopped and looked back. He stood there
7:48
staring for a moment. Eizamei came up
7:50
behind him and grabbed his arm. "Itachi,
7:52
we have to move," she said. Itachi
7:54
looked at her and the look in his eyes
7:56
said he felt a certain conviction. He
7:58
passed the baby off into Imami's care.
8:00
"What are you doing?" she demanded.
8:02
"Take care of him for me." He ran off.
8:04
"Itachi." Itachi kept racing toward the
8:07
fray. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop,
8:10
he could see the monster in the
8:11
distance. It was so big by comparison to
8:14
the rest of its surroundings. Itachi
8:16
questioned what kind of plan they could
8:17
possibly have to stop the beast. Itachi
8:20
wasn't even sure what his plan was, but
8:22
he was confident that he could stop it.
8:24
If only he could get close enough.
8:26
Getting to a rooftop, he stopped. The
8:28
flames before him blew away with the
8:30
wind as the form of the Ninetailes
8:32
appeared. Tall, imposing, filled with
8:35
rage. Within its eyes shone the image of
8:38
the Sharinggon. It was already under
8:40
Genjutsu, and yet it was still
8:42
rampaging. It attempted to crush the
8:44
building Itachi was on, but Itachi
8:46
jumped away. How could this be? So, how
8:48
could it be under Genjutsu and be
8:51
destroying the village? Was it just that
8:53
strong? Or was it No. No, it couldn't be
8:56
that. Was the beast being forced to
8:59
attack the village through this
9:00
genjutsu? Get out of there, kid. One of
9:03
the shinobi said. Itachi looked back and
9:05
hopped away to get out of the sight of
9:07
another shinobi. He didn't want them
9:09
risking their lives to stop him when he
9:11
was trying to stop the fighting. All he
9:13
could do was try to keep the beast's
9:14
attention on something. As the fight
9:17
wore on, Itachi began to feel as though
9:19
the renegon were talking to him, telling
9:21
him what to do next, giving him ideas
9:23
and techniques. And among the techniques
9:26
they gave him was one he was sure would
9:28
work. It would probably cause a bit of
9:30
collateral damage, but would in the end
9:33
save many lives. He began to visualize
9:35
it. Leading from his eyes were six
9:37
different paths. Among the six, one of
9:40
them spoke to him of gravity as though
9:42
the entire earth was echoing out a
9:44
secret to him. Condense, it said to him.
9:47
Condense what? He questioned. Gravity.
9:50
And so in between his hands he formed a
9:52
dense gravity well and continued to add
9:55
more and more gravity to it until not
9:57
even light could escape. Now throw it,
10:00
the eyes told him. And so Itachi did.
10:03
With every ounce of his might, he threw
10:05
the little black orb toward the
10:07
Ninetailes. As soon as it collided, the
10:09
beast too began to float, arms and legs
10:12
kicking, trying to find some sort of
10:14
grip to keep it on the ground. But as it
10:16
floated up, the ground around slowly
10:18
began to be attracted to it. Even the
10:21
building Itachi was on was being
10:22
attracted. As it shook and crumbled,
10:24
Itachi raced to get off. The area around
10:27
the Ninetailes was breaking up. Itachi
10:29
might have been doing more damage to the
10:31
village than he previously thought. He
10:33
jumped away from the building only to
10:34
land on a small island that was floating
10:36
up into the sky as well. Already Konoha
10:39
forces were retreating and Itachi was
10:42
struggling to get away. Everything he
10:43
jumped on was floating toward the
10:45
Ninetailes. It was like trying to run
10:47
down and up escalator but even faster.
10:50
He kept running and jumping as fast as
10:52
he could until his lungs felt like they
10:53
might burst into flame. He felt like a
10:56
meteor shooting down to earth through
10:57
the atmosphere, burning up as it came
10:59
through the air. Eventually, he reached
11:01
the ground and got away from the more
11:03
powerful gravity of the Chebaccu Tensei
11:05
and made his way toward the forces. When
11:07
he got there, the Shinobi were
11:09
surprised. "Itachi, was that you?"
11:11
Itachi nodded. "I'm sorry. I didn't know
11:14
it would be this destructive." The
11:15
Shinobi looked up. "I feel like what's
11:17
important right now is that the beast is
11:19
sealed up. So long as it remains sealed,
11:21
I think we're okay. We can always
11:23
rebuild," he said. They all looked at
11:25
the miniature satellite hovering in the
11:26
space above the village. A moment later,
11:29
without so much as even a warning, a
11:31
blast fired through the stony orb.
11:34
Finally, the Ninetailes shot through,
11:36
dragging itself out. The Chibbaku Tensei
11:38
blew apart, raining down upon Konoha,
11:41
creating even more collateral damage. "I
11:43
can't stop it," Itachi said. It was then
11:46
that on the farway Hokag monument, the
11:49
form of the fourth Hokag appeared,
11:51
rushing the beast quickly, one could
11:53
hardly even see him move. He made it to
11:56
the ninetailes where he touched it and a
11:58
moment later the two were gone. Itachi
12:00
stood there silently wondering what
12:02
happened when suddenly Makoto and Fugaku
12:05
ran up and grabbed him. "Hitachi?" his
12:08
mother cried out, cradling and kissing
12:09
her son all over. All while Fugaku was
12:12
checking every extremity for wounds.
12:13
"Are you hurt? Did you break anything?"
12:16
Fugaku demanded in a panic. "I'm fine,
12:18
honest," he said to them, feeling a bit
12:20
embarrassed as the other Shinobi were
12:21
watching. Fugaku and Makoto finally let
12:24
their guards back down, though Makoto
12:26
was in an extreme sense of emotion.
12:28
"What the hell did you think you were
12:29
doing? You could have gotten yourself
12:31
killed." "With all due respect," one of
12:33
the nearby Shinobi said. "Your son saved
12:35
a lot of lives." "He did," Fugaku asked.
12:38
The Shinobi nodded. "I can't explain
12:40
what jutsu he used, but he trapped the
12:42
ninetailes in a massive ball of earth. A
12:44
very dense seal it looked like. If he
12:47
hadn't, I feel many people would have
12:48
lost their lives." Makoto sat Itachi
12:51
back on his feet keeping him close while
12:53
looking around. "Itachi, you did all
12:56
this?" she asked. I felt like I had to
12:58
do something. I saw the ninetailes and I
13:00
got the feeling like I was supposed to
13:02
be here. So, I came here and things just
13:04
started happening. The renegon told me
13:06
what to do. Makoto and Fugaku stood
13:09
there in awe. There was no doubt
13:11
anymore. Fugaku had in some way held
13:14
doubt that these eyes were the legendary
13:16
renegon. But now he knew for sure these
13:19
had to be the eyes of the sage because
13:21
only the sage's eyes could so easily
13:23
control the beast. Fugaku looked back
13:26
around. Where did the ninetailes go? He
13:28
asked. Lord forth came through and
13:30
teleported it out after it broke free
13:32
from Itachi's seal. Fugaku turned back
13:34
and looked at the shinobi. Mito did. His
13:36
expression slowly turned to worry. Well
13:39
then let's hurry up and locate them.
13:40
Mino can't do this by himself. Makoto
13:43
hugged her son again, hardly able to
13:45
hold back tears. Hitachi. You did a good
13:48
thing here today. I'm proud of you. But
13:50
now you need to get to the shelter.
13:52
Where's Sasuke? He's already at the
13:54
shelter, Mom. I took him. Good. She
13:56
said, "Get to your brother and protect
13:58
everyone in the shelter. That's your
14:00
duty now. Okay." Itachi nodded. Okay.
14:03
Makoto stood and began to follow after
14:05
Fugaku. I'll see you when this is over.
14:07
Itachi watched as his mother left. He
14:09
then made his way back to the shelter
14:11
where he took cover with Iamei and the
14:13
others. From this point, Itachi's
14:15
heroism was truly noted. But as you
14:18
would understand, Itachi was not the
14:19
only one to note that the Ninetailes had
14:21
the reflection of the Sharinggon within
14:24
its eye. The sad truth of the matter was
14:26
the Hokag had died. His wife had died.
14:29
Many notable people in Konoha had died,
14:32
and people were looking for someone to
14:34
blame. Even though Itachi had helped
14:36
them, this was not attributed to the
14:38
Uchiah's standing in Konoha, but only to
14:41
the renegon and the possible
14:42
reincarnation of the sage of six paths
14:44
that people suspected Itachi was. But it
14:47
wasn't just mass opinion that turned the
14:49
Uchiah into a group of outcasts. It was
14:52
inside work. You see, Danzo was pulling
14:55
strings, making things worse for the
14:57
Uchiah clan by moving them to the
14:59
outskirts, as if baiting Fugaku into
15:02
action against this injustice. And
15:04
sadly, Fugaku took the bait. What was
15:07
Danzo's goal in this, you may ask? Well,
15:09
it was a very simple goal. You see, he
15:12
felt that the Uchiah were untrustworthy.
15:15
And further, they had almost complete
15:17
control over what many now believed was
15:19
the reincarnation of the sage of six
15:22
paths. That made them a threat. And so,
15:24
Danzo's plan was twofold. To isolate the
15:27
Uchiah and push them out of the village,
15:30
slowly reducing their power over Konoha.
15:33
Then he would start grooming Itachi to
15:35
take a better place within the village,
15:37
teaching him to value Konoha over the
15:39
village, and most of all to value Danzo
15:42
himself more than anything. If he could
15:44
gain the sage and remove the Uchiah, his
15:47
power would surpass even that of the
15:49
newly reappointed weak third Hokag, and
15:52
his influence over world events would
15:54
result in a political climate that was
15:57
exact to what he wanted it to be. So, as
15:59
Itachi grew older, he continued to
16:02
explore his renegon, their abilities,
16:04
and everything he could do with them. He
16:06
came to master each of the six paths as
16:08
the extensions of himself that they
16:10
technically were. He continued his
16:12
missions for Konoha under team 2 until
16:14
he eventually reached the level of
16:16
Chunin, where he would be allowed to
16:18
join in on the Uchiah clan meetings in
16:20
the Naka Shrine. There, he heard them
16:23
talking about revolt, a revolt against
16:26
Konoha to take their rightful place.
16:28
Fugaku believed that because they
16:30
possessed the sage of six paths that
16:32
they should be respected and since the
16:34
current administration refused to do so,
16:36
maybe it was time for a change. He
16:38
wished for the Uchiah to assert control
16:40
over Konoha. This was troubling talk and
16:43
as the times continued to pass and
16:45
Itachi grew older, he was troubled by
16:47
the talk of revolt. He told his father
16:49
so and made it quite known among the
16:51
leaders of the Uchia what his stance was
16:53
on this. Finding no rest at home, he
16:55
threw himself into his work. This seemed
16:58
to work all the more in Danzo's favor as
17:00
he quickly pulled Itachi into the Anbu
17:03
and even further into Routt where he
17:05
kept a close eye on him. Itachi
17:07
continued to grow stronger and during
17:09
his time serving in the Onbu and in
17:11
Routt, he ended up befriending a young
17:13
man named Shisoi who was about 3 years
17:15
Itachi's senior. Itachi loved Shisoi
17:18
like a brother, training with him and
17:19
finding his way past physical barriers
17:21
that he couldn't break through alone. He
17:23
was the only one who knew what Danzo's
17:26
true plans were just by looking and the
17:28
only one who knew that the Uchiah were
17:30
planning to use Itachi as their primary
17:32
weapon against Konoha in the revolt. He
17:35
was standing here with the next sage of
17:37
six paths. And the young boy didn't even
17:39
truly know how important he was, how
17:42
much the village was trying to fight
17:43
over him, and he was hesitant to let him
17:45
know. And though it pained him to do
17:47
this, the best he could do was
17:49
manipulate Itachi as well. Hopefully
17:51
deprogramming him from everything he had
17:53
been programmed to believe. He shared
17:55
with him his dreams of peace and of a
17:57
future worth fighting for, but not a
18:00
world that was not won by sword and
18:01
blood, but by pen and word. Itachi
18:04
latched on immediately. Whether this
18:06
adoration for peace was something
18:08
instilled in him by his own nature or by
18:10
the nature of the sage of six paths that
18:12
he was thought to be, Shisoi didn't
18:14
know. But to see Itachi grab on so
18:16
viciously to the thought of peace like a
18:18
dog starved and served a steak, it made
18:21
Shisui wonder, maybe Itachi did know.
18:24
Itachi, can I ask you a question? Sure,
18:27
go ahead. What do you think the people
18:29
are planning for you? Itachi thought
18:31
about it for a moment before responding.
18:33
They're hoping I lead them to a better
18:34
future. And what do you think the Uchiah
18:36
are planning for you? Shoi asked. Itachi
18:39
looked down. It's no secret to me. My
18:41
father has let slip with me on more than
18:43
one occasion that he plans to use my
18:45
powers to overthrow Konoha. And what
18:47
about Danzo? Shisui asked. Surely you've
18:49
noticed. Itachi looked up. What? Shiui
18:52
continued. Danzo is sponsoring you hard,
18:54
but he's also the one who seems to be
18:56
pushing the Uchiah out. He seems to hate
18:58
the Uchiah, but favors you more than
19:01
anyone. You know why? Why? Itachi asked.
19:04
Itachi already had some semblance of an
19:06
idea, though he wanted to let Shiui make
19:08
certain his meaning. He's trying to
19:10
isolate you and use you for his own
19:12
gain. Against the Uchiah. Against anyone
19:15
in Konoha who defies his leadership,
19:17
Itachi nodded. You're in a dangerous
19:19
position, Itachi. You're in a position
19:21
where everyone is trying to use you.
19:23
What do I do? Itachi asked. What you do
19:26
is you determine what it is that you
19:27
want most, and then you follow that
19:30
dream regardless of what anyone else
19:32
thinks. When you realize there are
19:34
strings on you, you're no longer a
19:35
puppet. Manipulators thrive on those who
19:38
lack self-awareness. And that's what
19:39
I've given you today. Self-awareness.
19:42
Now, it's up to you to determine what
19:43
you want. I want peace and konoha,
19:46
between it and the world, and between
19:47
the Uchiah and the village. Shizui
19:50
smiled. Then, that's the dream we'll
19:51
chase. Okay. Nobody will decide how best
19:54
to use the power you've been given, but
19:56
you. The thought made Itachi smile.
19:58
Then, we've got a lot of work to do. How
20:00
should we start? He asked. She thought
20:02
about it. Well, we know that from what
20:04
I've gathered, the main beef here is
20:06
between Danzo and the Uchiah. But Hisin
20:09
is not this way. He wants nothing but
20:11
the prosperity of all clans in the
20:12
village. Uchiah included. I feel that if
20:15
anyone is worthy enough to help the
20:17
Uchiah clan, it has to be Hisin. Itachi
20:20
nodded. Then he's the one we'll talk to.
20:22
And so the two of them went to Hirozen
20:24
to talk about their desires and how they
20:26
wanted to help the village and the
20:27
Uchiah get along. They began to lay out
20:30
plans that might stop both sides from
20:32
fighting by placing Itachi in the
20:34
middle, who being respected as the next
20:36
sage of six paths would be able to
20:38
command both sides to stand down and
20:41
convince them that the best way to solve
20:43
their problems would be talking it out.
20:45
After all, both sides needed Itachi to
20:48
succeed. Danzo needed him to seize
20:50
control of the village, and the Uchiah
20:52
needed him the same. So if he refused to
20:54
take a side and instead stood against
20:56
all sides, he could force them into
20:58
submission. This was the plan that Hisen
21:01
approved of. And so they prepared to set
21:03
it into motion. However, one day as
21:06
Shiui was leaving his post in the onboo,
21:08
he psych. Nah, Shisui is not going to
21:11
get attacked. Instead, it's going to be
21:13
Itachi. Itachi was the one headed home
21:15
one day. When he was, he felt an unusual
21:18
sting on the back of his neck, like that
21:20
of a bee. Swatting it away, he thought
21:22
nothing of it. But as time passed, he
21:24
began to feel a bit woozy and
21:26
lightheaded. Weakness coming to him.
21:28
Looking up, he saw Danzo standing in his
21:30
way. Lord Danzo, I think I developed an
21:33
allergy to bees. I think I need to get
21:35
to the doctor. Danzo shook his head.
21:37
Sadly, that was no bee that stung you,
21:40
but instead a Kou. Itachi had heard of
21:42
this before. Kou like Yoji uses, he
21:45
questioned. Danzo nodded. Sugaru has and
21:48
always will be loyal to me, even when
21:51
you are not. You poisoned me. Why did
21:54
you really think you were so important
21:56
that I couldn't live without you? He
21:58
said, "You believed that by merely
22:00
opposing me, you could deter me," Danzo
22:02
said. "How foolish." Itachi shook his
22:05
head as he stumbled back against the
22:07
wall. "But then why were you keeping me
22:10
close?" he asked. "I had hoped to use
22:12
you to my advantage. Yes, the people
22:14
respect you as the next sage, but Konoha
22:17
survived before you, and it will survive
22:19
after you as well. The only thing that
22:22
truly sets you apart are those eyes. And
22:24
whoever possesses the eyes of the sage
22:27
will become the sage. And it seems that
22:29
the one destined to become the next sage
22:31
of six paths is me. And with speed like
22:35
a bullet, Danzo rushed at Itachi.
22:37
Rolling away, he tried to make distance,
22:39
but Danzo pressed the attack as other
22:41
root agents appeared, including Itachi's
22:44
former partner, Yoji. Itachi looked
22:46
back. Yo, how could you do this to me?
22:49
The mute boy did not speak, save for the
22:51
bugs in his throat that gave him the
22:53
ability to. And if you don't know this
22:55
character, he's in the Itachi light
22:56
novels. You can read up on him on the
22:58
wiki. "It's not personal," he said with
23:00
the strange voice that was so distinctly
23:03
his. And in that moment, Itachi was bit
23:05
a second time. He felt his motor
23:07
function slowing down. He needed to do
23:10
something quickly. Utilizing the animal
23:12
path, he summoned massive beasts before
23:14
him. Danzo began to move back to summon
23:17
his Baku to defend. as other group
23:19
members did the same. Amidst the dust
23:21
and confusion, Itachi made his escape.
23:23
Shiui received a message not long after,
23:26
summoning him to visit the usual meeting
23:28
place. Heading there, he was shocked to
23:30
see Itachi leaning against a tree,
23:32
slumped down, clutching at his
23:34
collarbone, a common reaction to immense
23:36
pain. He ran over. Itachi? He pulled
23:38
Itachi into his arms. "What's going on?
23:41
Are you okay?" he asked. Itachi's
23:43
breathing was quick, but his movements
23:44
were getting slower and weaker to the
23:46
point where he could hardly move.
23:48
Shisui, he said. He could hardly talk.
23:50
Go bugs. Yoji Aarame betrayed, he said.
23:55
Shiui nodded. Save your strength. We'll
23:57
deal with this after we get you help. No
24:00
cure, he said. When I die, take my
24:03
renegon, he said. Shisui shook his head.
24:06
No, you will use your renegon, not me.
24:09
Itachi with tears running down his cheek
24:11
looked up at Shiui. No, you must stop
24:15
the coup. Save the village. Shisui's own
24:19
breathing grew quicker, but at the same
24:21
time, Itachi's grew weak. Itachi, he
24:24
said. Itachi. Itachi had stopped
24:26
breathing. Shisui lay him down and began
24:28
attempting CPR, but nothing helped.
24:31
Itachi was gone. No, no, this wouldn't
24:33
be so. Shisui would not let it happen.
24:36
Putting his hand on Itachi's chest, he
24:38
made the fateful decision. The sharing
24:40
gun of his left eye flared for but a
24:42
moment. Suddenly, Itachi gasped for air.
24:45
Rolling on his side. Any residual energy
24:47
dissipated. "What?" he questioned. He
24:50
looked back to see Shiui, one eye gray
24:52
and dead. "What did you do?" he asked.
24:54
Shizui smiled. "I made a decision," he
24:57
said. "There's a technique passed down
24:59
within the Uchiah. a technique that any
25:01
sharing user can use, but it is
25:04
forbidden because of the scale of the
25:06
jutsu as well as the cost of casting it.
25:08
Ianagi, it gives one the ability to
25:11
alter reality by blurring the line
25:13
between reality and delusion. It mixes
25:15
together yin and yang release. Said to
25:18
be an emulation of the six paths
25:20
abilities. The cost for me is blindness
25:22
in the eye that cast it. But that's okay
25:25
because you're alive, Shizui said.
25:27
Itachi looked down and away. Yin and
25:30
Yang. He then put his hand on Shiui's
25:33
eye and attempted the same thing. When
25:35
he removed his hand from Shiui, his
25:37
sharing gun had returned. Shisui reached
25:39
up with his hand. How did you do that? I
25:42
blurred the line between reality and
25:44
illusion for just a moment. Maybe maybe
25:47
we can use this to our advantage. Shisoi
25:49
then realized that with the renegon,
25:51
Itachi should be able to use these
25:53
techniques without cost given that they
25:55
used a watered down version of the
25:57
sage's powers. Maybe you should try and
25:59
use the Izzanami on both the Uchiah and
26:02
Danzo. If you do, you should be able to
26:04
force everyone to make peace. How do I
26:06
do it? He asked. And thus, Shiui told
26:09
Itachi how to do it. Danzo had thought
26:11
that Itachi would be dead. And so, he
26:14
kept the search up for the body. Little
26:16
did he know that Itachi would find him.
26:18
Without so much as a single word, Itachi
26:20
cast Danzo under the Izanami. And after
26:23
doing that, when the Uchia met at the
26:25
Naka Shrine, he convinced them that they
26:27
should sue for peace instead through the
26:30
Izanami. With this technique, it forced
26:33
everyone into a causal loop within their
26:35
own minds that trapped them until they
26:37
made the decision to give up on their
26:39
poisonous dreams and let it all go. The
26:41
Uchiah eventually woke up and made the
26:44
decision to make peace with Hisin.
26:46
However, Danzo, due to his power-hungry
26:48
nature, could not give up his dreams for
26:50
anything, and thus he never woke up.
26:53
Left in a coma for quite some time,
26:55
sustained by life support, until
26:57
eventually he passed away. But peace
27:00
between the Uchiah and the village was
27:02
restored thanks to Itachi and Shisoi,
27:05
both of which were heralded as heroes.
27:07
But could this peace last forever? The
27:09
man who had set the Ninetailes free was
27:11
still out there. Only time would tell if
27:14
he would rise up against them. But one
27:16
thing was certain. If he did, Itachi
27:19
would be there to stop him.
27:22
And that's what I call a wrap. What did
27:24
you think? The concept of different
27:26
characters possessing the renegon always
27:28
did fascinate me. I wonder what other
27:30
characters would make for an interesting
27:32
story if they had the renegon. Maybe
27:34
I'll look into that sometime. Anyway,
27:36
what did you think? Did you enjoy the
27:39
story? Let us know in the comments what
27:40
your favorite part was. And don't forget
27:42
to drop us some cool new ideas as well
27:45
as any old ideas that you notice never
27:47
got finished. Been trying to add a few
27:49
of those into rotation. After all, what
27:51
good is a wonderful start if it doesn't
27:53
receive a perfect ending? Be sure to
